That's not true. If distros package closed source firmware updates the manufacturer has the ability to provide updates to people's computer via that system. I mean, that's the whole point and in a trustworthy environment that

There is no nuance there. Without free software there is no software freedom. If blobs are allowed at all that is already a measure to have a system that works in practice, but in no way makes it the position against closed software and blo

Lavabit is really the key reference here, no reason to point to revolutions, that goes a bit far. But instead of providing the government with user data Proton had the option to stop operating the compromised email service, or if necessary

That's not even remotely true. Fessenheim was a huge security risk and would not have passed any security checks in a country not as fanatically pro-nuclear as France. See https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Pannen-AKW-Fes

Then they should have not released a new phone, but a new board for the FP3(+). They are not a regular company that needs to do such moves, and besides: The Framework laptop shows that there usually is a way, despite what companies say.

Those block the USB-Port, and to rely on dongles is so Apple. The headphone jack is a signal. When Apple removed it people like me pledged to never support such a customer hostile move. Google's flip flop on that issue just made this c

I don't think we disagree here. If old systems stay with a legacy technology and do other work instead of changing that foundation, then staying with the legacy technology can become technical debt - not the decision itself, back in th

That's not debt. Those are working configurations on a fully supported web server with active development. There is zero reason to change them.

To pirate it you need a VPN, in countries that have a surveilled internet and laws that enable suing file sharers. Germany for example.

This is a very flat UI. I ran usability tests in the past with enterprise software that followed Windows inspired flat design. Guess what the users could not manage? The flat design, as it destroys easy discoverability of what can be clicke

1. No enterprise will withdraw from the EU market because of this. There are too many customers with too much money in the EU. It's a bigger market than the US. 2. That would actually be good, the amount of models aims at confusing cus

Lenovo refused to repair a laptop of my wife that had a broken display (always stayed black), because the USB port was also broken. The plastic guide was pulled out by an USB device, actually another manufacturing defect. That laptop was ~6

There is really not much more. It's simply the observation that strict time limits lead to the time always being used, and augmented the value of the limited resource - video gaming here. The cigarette analogy in the other reply is gre

Strictly limiting screen time fuels addiction. I'm utterly convinced about this and speak from experience. They can't learn to properly manage the ups and downs that way, all that remains are the ups, making it the best thing ever

The SSD will have a much better latency, and will in practice lead to shorter load times, even with slow QLC. But if you need a lot of storage HDDs still have the better price per GB.

Obviously. That 1% gives an estimate of 1.2 million people btw - not a small group.

Vista brought a lot of migration to Linux indeed. And the Mac being incapable of playing games is a factor for quite some people. But until recently, gaming on Linux was limited. No one said everyone though.

Don't let history blind you to the now ;) It's way better now than it was back then. There was a long period of good ports, which combined with the Steam for Linux client made Linux gaming a real thing already. But instead of fizz

Ah, okay. Thanks. That's not as bad as I thought, using the click on the dock (that would otherwise do nothing) is clever. Thinking about it, my dock does this as well :)
